In the style of Run by Snow Patrol.
A slow paced powerfully epic ballad!
Electric piano, cello, violins and guitars.

V1
For I am seeing…..
The desire behind your smile….
And I can feel……
The passion for love within your heart…..
My pulse is racing…..
And I’m in love’s paradise……
Being held by you…..
Is just like a brand new start………

Chorus :-
‘Cos you bring me light……. (yeah …yeah)
And I’m bathed in sunshine…..
You give me hope……… (ooh….)
That you’ll always be mine……
I crave your closeness…..
You’re so warm and tender……
I need your love……. (yeah …yeah)
Always… and for all time…….
(repeat?) I need your love……. (yeah …yeah)
Always… and for all time…….

(Mid 8)
16 bars
Long instrumental, orchestral symphony.

V3
If there is perfect…..
Then it is surely you…….
I need you near me…..
Without you… life has no meaning……
All that I’ve learned…..
Would have been for nothing….
For without you…..
I’d still be lost and dreaming……

Chorus :-
‘Cos you bring me light……. (yeah …yeah)
And I’m bathed in sunshine…..
You give me hope……… (ooh….)
That you’ll always be mine……
I crave your closeness…..
You’re so warm and tender……
I need your love……. (yeah …yeah)
Always… and for all time…….
(repeat?) I need your love……. (yeah …yeah)
Always… and for all time…….

Pop Oasis style, inspired by free thinking and
a desire to higher expression of love !

V1
Though I pale..
Behind the images of love….
All these heroes..
Some working class… others not….
The light still shines…..
The power of love…
Immortal……… a sound still ringing….
Their voices breathe…..
Love and kindness….. singing……

Chorus:-
Nothing lasts forever
Please understand and believe….
The power is yours
To share the love…….
((Echo) To share the love together
Share a smile to shine…..)
No-one owns you
So make your mark on the world…..
Give it your best
Sing to yourselves and hold on…..!

V2
We are flesh
But as immortal as love….
Everyone’s a hero
If we give it all we’ve got…..
Beauty knows no confines
The endless skies above
Everlasting….. our voices ringing……
To be the change
The greatest song we’re singing…..

V3
To live forever
Own the image of love….
A true peoples hero
Shall never ever be forgot….
Come the better times
And never be ashamed
Together…… our voices bringing……
Peace and love
The song we keep on singing……

Chorus:-
Nothing lasts forever
Please understand and believe….
The power is yours
To share the love…….
((Echo) To share the love together
Share a smile to shine…..)
No-one owns you
So make your mark on the world…..
Give it your best
Sing to yourselves and hold on…..!

Then:
Sing to yourselves and hold on…!
to yourselves and hold on…!
Sing to yourselves and hold on…!
to yourselves and hold on…!

Music fades away…
(Guitar scratch)

V1Who’s the man He sees in the mirror ?.......Just a person Struggling to be the change…….What becomes Of the life we’ve cherished…….When we deny Love… and become estranged ?......

V2Moon he walked As if made of magic……What a soul That had brought music and song……Once a dream Would take us into spirit……Where we’d remember How to live as if all one……..

Chorus:-And he sang love…. Love….. blessings….He proved the value of his words alive……Love… love… love becoming………A new direction in our eyes…….Love…… peace…… and understanding…..Always a hope….. that we’d still realise…..

(Mid 8)16 bars

V3How he’d wanted That we’d know a contentment…..And feel alive With the joy somehow to find…..He brought us belief For a chance yet to conquer……And passion filling All spaces within our minds…..

Chorus:-And he sang love…. Love….. blessings….He proved the value of his words alive……Love… love… love becoming………A new direction in our eyes…….Love…… peace…… and understanding…..Always a hope….. that we’d still realise…..

V4Still he’s watching What we made of living…….So full of giving In his messages we’re free…..Time waits for no-one See how the Earth is still bleeding….Reminding us all To be the change we wish to see……Chorus:-And he sang love…. Love….. blessings….He proved the value of his words alive……Love… love… love becoming………A new direction in our eyes…….Love…… peace…… and understanding…..Always a hope….. that we’d still realise…..

Chorus:-And he sang love…. Love….. blessings….He proved the value of his words alive……Love… love… love becoming………A new direction in our eyes…….Love…… peace…… and understanding…..Always a hope….. that we’d still realise…..
